In first year maths at sydney uni our lecturer told us not to use L'Hopital's rule for sinx/x because it is used when establishing d/dx(sinx), creating a circular argument. There is another way to set up the trig functions that bypasses the issue but it just might be worth noting.

I have the same problem.

I got mine today. When I went to the site to activate the debit card function my browser (chrome) told me that the server certificate is not valid. Is it safe to go ahead?

Carrotsticks, are the SSP topics pure or applied maths (or both)? Also, have you done any of the TSP things like doing higher year courses(in addition to the SSP)? Thanks

Yeah I get the feeling they are trying to make it sound more exclusive.

The guy at info day said 99.00 ATAR + a band 6 in science OR 95 in 4u maths. And it can be lower if you have done international olympiad.

Yeah I was planning to. Do you know roughly what marks are needed? I got 99.55 and 96 in MX2.

yeah my bad

I got a letter yesterday (21st)

Thanks Trebla that's really helpful, I'm not as interested in the actuary side. @muzeikchun I think the cutoff is 95+ for both 3/4u. @dionb Yeah I'm pretty sure you're right, you'd have to go overseas for a MFE.

I'm guessing they base it off your 3/4u marks muzeikchun. So assuming one got into Quant. Risk, is there much difference in the actual coursework from USyd's financial maths major?

If it's a linear relationship then do a straight line. eg Swinging Pendulum graphing T^2 vs l. If it's not a linear relationship then do a curved line eg most projectile motion stuff (which I'm guessing the pic is)

Hey guys, is there much difference between these two majors? Does one offer an advantage over the other? The only difference I can really tell is that UNSW has a few commerce subjects in there. UNSW Quantitative Risk: http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/plans/2012/MATHR13986.html...

Exactly. Hello science prac tests.

Ah ok that clarifies thinks, thanks :)

Fair enough, that makes sense. I went into my trials without critics thinking this, but was marked down. Could you expand on how to more effectively "show"? Also, it seems that there are a substantial number of markers that seem to think that critics is the way to go. I could be wrong, (perhaps...
